I’ve been neglecting my sewing room a little bit. I think I’m stuck on True Blue and it’s harshing my flow, if you speak surfer slang. This gift quilt for my grieving friend is at the half-way point and I just keep walking a wide circle around it.
The weekend of the Royal Wedding, I spent an early morning procrastibaking when I certainly could have been sewing. Instead I made scones and tea cake and three kinds of tea sandwiches (egg salad, cucumber, ham salad) to enjoy while I watched those beautiful, accomplished, and lovely people get married.

Unfortunately I had to eat that scone with store-bought strawberry jam. I’m out of the good wild homemade stuff!
It occurred to me that perhaps I am just saturated in blue and maybe if I made something red, it would inspire me to get back to creating. So I started randomly sewing red and yellow scraps together to make a long-needed nightstand cover.

The nightstand cover is everything inside and including the red border. The gingham background is another quilt I made which was inspired by Red Pepper Quilts.

Yep, had the whole thing quilted and then realized that I scrambled one edge of the backing. I remain undaunted!
